Askmewhats Reviews: L'oreal Hip Cream Shadow in Secretive

I bought my first and only L'oreal HIP Cream Shadow a couple of months ago and what made me decided to choose this color? Thanks to Nessa for the swatches and I am looking into a natural "skin" color and Secretive is the winner!

I've used more than 1/4 of this product, so I guess it's time for it's own space in this blog :D

** as seen on photo, the L'oreal Hip Cream Shadow, the free Brush and a small space to put the product

L'oreal Hip Cream Shadow says ---

Custom application well. HiP High Intensity Pigments Cream Shadow Paints can be used for all over luminous crease-resistant shadow or as a wear-extending, color enhancing base.

packaging is great, the case can be used as a dish but I prefer to use my own hands ;)

nice staying power, lasts all day

Cons

useless brush that comes with the product

if you are not into "frosty" finish, Secretive is known to be the dupe of MAC Bare Canvas but on the shimmery side

if you have super dry lids, this will make it even drier

not available locally

Overall

I personally love the L'oreal HIP Cream Shadow for crease-less make-up. If this is available locally, I am sure this product will be a big hit for people who have a hard time looking for primers locally. L'oreal Philippines, if you are reading this, we want HIP line here! :D

Tips

apply a thin layer of Cream Shadow, you can pack on if needed, never use too much at first application

use a brush or finger to spread the product quickly as this dries up pretty fast

for dry lids : Moisturize your eye area first before using this product

Will I repurchase?

Not the same color, as one tube lasts a long time

Where did I repurchase and how much?

A friend bought it for me at ULTA for $11.49 that time, and now, I checked ULTA and they're on Buy One Get 2nd one for 50% off! :( :( :(

Dear Philippine Readers:

I do apologize as we don't have this product available locally, but it does help if you have relatives who's coming home and asks you what you like for Christmas I extend my condolences to my dear friend Shenand her familybe strong...be strong....

ive been holding off on buying any HIP stuff...until they drop in price just a bit more over here.its a little crazy at times...though i dont think we have this product yet. i just recently found the pots in my local drug store...so im guessing this one will follow through eventually.interesting to find out that they are so dry though...wonder if it would help dry me out? :)

ACK!!! No HiP!!!! I just did a video on my HiP collection:) I love my cream shadow paints, I'm going to start using them more often. I have them all but what I use for a "skin tone" base in the brown cream eyeliner from HiP.

i love HIP! haha i have so many of their eye shadows haha i haven't tried the actual paint thoughbut i've tried their cream liners too :D great products & this is a great review! i may have to look into it, but i want something more matte w/out the sheen
